If I was in charge
Ok, a lot of re release stuff out there. Some of it helpful. It'd be great if they'd re released some really key components. What would you, the community, like to see back on the market for parts?

I would just space them out a bit more. Times are tough financially for a lot of people and it would be nice to space out the releases.

I'd like to see them list a genuine AE-stamped buggy nose plate in black anno.

Re: If I was in charge
In terms of key components, what is missing? They really seems to have covered all of the bases.
The meat and potatoes are there.
I'd love to see a new blue label motor.
I would have liked to see some of the classic on road and carpet cars.

Re: If I was in charge
A Mugen Bulldog or Hirobo Zerda would be nice and I believe both company's are still going so it's possible , a Kyosho Gallop would be cool too .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Blue and black anno milled chassis'. The neon powder coated chassis/nose plates series. Hard anodized shocks? A green and clear kit buy-back program? 

Hope you're doin' something fun.

Unobtainable parts like cvd/cva/axles that resto mod builders use. Been hot for a while doing custom work.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed this was in the RC10 section. I didn't realize it was model specific.

Re: If I was in charge
I would like to start seeing all the plastic parts come in black as well. With the DS re-re they've already produced a handful of the parts in black, they just haven't come available for sale individually yet.
Also, option parts would be nice to see. Different toe rear hubs, different caster blocks. Definitely would be nice to have some different springs as well with different rates.

Re: If I was in charge
The univsersals would be nice and appear to be on the way. The Cvd's were always mip parts. Mip made as re-relesae of the 1/4" axle. Customworks never stopped selling the 3/16"buggy sets.Liveaxle wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:23 amUnobtainable parts like cvd/cva/axles that resto mod builders use.

Re: If I was in charge
True, but I'd like to see repros for the custom builds that folks use on the regular. Like say when using the affordable and in stock klein arms.JosephS wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 9:49 amThe univsersals would be nice and appear to be on the way. The Cvd's were always mip parts.
